-Pine Haven Circle around Sorority Village
-Montague between Kay James and Ross Boulevard
-10 parking spaces on south end of Fraternity Drive (west side of street) at Montague
-Fourth Street between Golden Eagle and Eagle Walk
-Southern Miss Drive between 30th and 31st Avenues

-South end of Kay James at Montague (Dubard)
-Trent Lott Center west lot next to M.M. Roberts Stadium
-Ray Guy Way at Eagle Walk by the new raised crosswalk

Motorists should use caution in these areas during times of heavy rain and not enter flood areas. University officials will continue monitoring weather conditions, and in the event severe weather does threaten the campus community and notification is warranted, the university's Eagle Alert system will be activated.
